finkster Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 If you had the battery disconnected, it may have reset some settings on the head unit. DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Maybe the SW control on the head unit was reset to 0. Turn it back up.

Skullz Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Check the sub wiring as you may have rewired it to a higher load causing your loss in power. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothra Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 i just had a customer come in with the same issue. I looked at the setting and there was a switch for the input sensitivity 1x or 10x. I flipped the switch back to what it should be and problem solved. see if your Memphis amps have the same selector. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj11 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 the ohm loud hasnt changed plus it wouldn't matter there dual 4ohm subs so 2ohm or 8ohmwouldn't matter on my amps each sub is going to its own amp. and yes they do I'll check that Tmrw. would that affect my subs amp tho? jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Wired to 8 ohms would make a difference in output as the amp is meant for 1.5 to 4 ohm nominal for the 500w, and where 8 ohm is outside the limits causing your loss in power. Nothing lost or gained in checking to make sure you have it wired @2 ohm. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aj11 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 just redid all my grounds and removed that amp and the problem is still there? there's either something wrong with my amps subs or car electrical system. i don't get it. everything is the same way it was! teaches me for trying to improve my system, ok i went to my local audio shop and got new ground wire. drilled threw the floor in my truck and went right to the frame. removed every single piece of wire from the 4 channel amp. rewired the system once again and boom full power. i fihonestly think it was the remote wire from my deck. but don't care it's working jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
